    It's easy to find negatives if you're looking for them.
    Me though , I'd rather focus on the positives as we have plenty of those.

    We are what I would call efficient- I do think Parker decides when to shut down our attacking threat - your right that we should / could have had 6 goals on Saturday but we chose to go back to possession football in our own half a lot.

    With the exception of Sheff Utd in games with the top 8 let?s say we?ve nearly come undone though with the keep ball tactic - Leeds away yea we won and looked good for it to a point then we reverted and were lucky to not lose - Sunderland away ( unfair really as players had all gone ). Leeds at home WTF was that.

    WBA away and home draws ( lucky to hold on


    However I suppose the point is we didn?t lose them in the main even though some of them were dreadfully boring - I?m undecided with Parker I don?t think he?s a good fit for us even though he?s a gentleman and handles himself well.

    The proof will be in the pudding in the next few weeks Mal as we have some tough games coming Sheff Utd the obvious one but Coventry and QPR - Derby and Norwich all tests as finding form.

    Of course if we didn?t make the top 2 could we play like we do in the play offs and / final if got there etc.

    Imo it?s a big few weeks for Parker as the fan base is defo split over results and how we achieve them

    I?ve posted before though if we are lucky enough to get promoted teams in the premiership will be licking their lips watching us Pi$$ around at the back - there maybe trouble ahead.

    It?s interesting because we do have points in games where we are dominant and look like we can go on to ruin teams and then we revert to tip tap in our own 18 yard box or last third.
    Maybe we?re wrong Mal and that?s how it has to be !

    You're just never happy unless you are discussing your amazing love child

    No more moaning from me about Foster, he's neither worth the time nor the energy. "Amazing love child".

    At least Parker appears to have decided he's not a guaranteed starter up front, he's only started one of the last four games, but what really worries me about him is what's possibly going to happen at the back end of the season. We'll need a late goal for automatic promotion, or to win the Play Off Final, the chance will fall to Foster, it may well be an easy chance........ and he'll miss it. I've seen players like him before, I know what's coming.

    You may scoff Barrie, but just you wait, you'll see. He'll do for us in an important game, he's a piss poor version of Emile Heskey.

    I remember a zillion years ago playing Leicester City on the Turf in a League Cup game, the Foxes won 3-0 if I recall correctly, and a young Emile Heskey ran us ragged. What a big, strapping fast on his feet lad Emile was. Never in a million years could you refer to Foster like that. Der Kaiser got this one badly wrong.

    Emile was fine until injuries took their toll in his mid twenties, after which he was mainly a waste of space. Just 7 goals in 62 games for England tells it's own story, and let's be honest, the majority of England games are against sh1te opposition.

    I will forever recall the night he ripped the Krauts a new arse playing alongside Owen and Beckham.
